RE:
Request that the board waive the $320 campaign finance late fee assessed against Lauren Michel, a candidate for Youngsville City Council, Division B in the November 4, 2014 election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 8 days late.
Facts:
In connection with his request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, Lauren Michel states that she had emergency reconstructive jaw surgery on November 19, 2014, one week before the 10-G report was due. Prior to the surgery, her jaw was wired shut and she could not speak. It was a very difficult time because she also had to prepare her family for the actual surgery and all things thereafter.
